1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb pas‐
sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa‐
ble cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs. (1,400–750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transferred to your ve‐
hicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of
the occupants and the cargo.
The greater the weight of the occupants, the
less cargo that can be transported.
Stowing and securing
cargo
▷ Cover sharp edges and corners on the cargo.
▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward as possible,
directly behind and at the bottom of the rear
passenger seat backrests.
▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not
occupied, secure each of the outer safety
belts in the opposite buckle.
▷ If necessary, fold down the backrests to stow
cargo.
▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the
backrests.
▷ Use the cargo area partition net, refer to
page
216 , to protect occupants. Make sure
that objects cannot penetrate the cargo area
partition net.
▷ Smaller and light cargo: secure with ratchet
straps or draw straps.
▷ Larger and heavy cargo: secure with cargo
straps.
Lashing eyes in the cargo
area
There are four lashing eyes in the cargo area for
securing cargo.
Attach load securing aids, such as lashing straps,
retaining straps, draw straps or cargo nets, to the
lashing eyes in the cargo area.
Only use the lower lashing eyes to secure the
cargo with the cargo area partition net.
